In short: At least we had been warned! Better to do as part of a team. Tough Guy material and everyone seemed to enjoy the muddy bits. Shame I got lost finding way back to car park from the hose-down area.

In short: mad
In full: lots of hills, mud and water. The race this year followed a long dry spell, I hate to think how muddy it would have been in a normal October. Nice goody bag. A vast range of competitors from the ultra fit to the first timers looking for a dirty experience.

In short: Tough, wet, very muddy and great fun.
In full: The hils were steep, the mud was knee deep and there was even a little refreshing drizzle. It's hard but enjoyable. If you like Tough Guy, you will love this.
Really good T-shirt and "medal", presumably made at the local pottery.
I suppose it is a bit expensive but I doubt if you can run round the Land Rover testing track any other time so a special experience.
